Monty Python's Flying Circus - Season 2 [VHS]

Monty Python's Flying Circus - Season 2 [VHS] Review

A fathomless source of profound non-sequiturs, MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS has supplanted Shakespeare as the British variety act most quoted by people who haven't actually seen the original show in the original order as it is presented here. In fact, MONTY PYTHON is nearly indistinguishable from Shakespeare, except that the lines don't rhyme and there are very few bodkins or codpieces. There are, however, British accents and men in drag--two well-known staples of Shakespearean drama. And most of the members of the Flying Circus are still alive, so Shakespeare can take a hike. This six-video boxed set includes all 13 episodes from the transcendent second season of the FLYING CIRCUS: Face The Press--The Ministry of Silly Walks & The Piranha Brothers. The Spanish Inquisition--The Semaphore Version of "Wuthering Heights" & Man- Powered Flights. Deja Vu--A Bishop Rehearsing & Hijacked Plane (to Luton). The Buzz Aldrin Show--Architect Sketch & Words Not to be Used Again. Live From the Grill-o-Mat--Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things & Current Affairs. It's a Living--The Films of Mr. Dibley and Foreign Secretary. The Attila the Hun Show--Secretary of State Striptease & The Idiot in Society. Archaeology Today--Silly Vicars & Mosquito Hunters. How to Recognize Different Parts of the Body--Bruces & The Death of Mary Queen of Scots. Scott of the Antarctic--Fish License & French Subtitled Film. How Not to be Seen--Crossing the Atlantic on a Tricycle & Monty Python's Flying Circus Again in Thirty Seconds. Spam--Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook & Hospital for Over-Actors. Royal Episode 13--How to Feed a Goldfish & Undertaker's Sketch
